    A lot of commenters mention dnsmasq. I wrote some scripts a while ago to help minimize a dnsmasq config that had been generated from a hosts file. People in this thread might find them useful. https://petedeas.co.uk/dnsmasq&

    I'm unsure Manna is the best anti-social-credit parable, given that one of the prerequisites for being a member of its utopia is having the government AIs surveil you 24/7 through a brainstem implant. ( http://marshallbr

    I would go with "better safe than sorry" if I had to manage this sort of data. It might be fine so long as the URLs are all non-identifying stuff like the Wikipedia home page. But I bet I would have users with much more revealing

    Nothing, but you could add a `vnoremap jk <Esc>` line as well to have it leave visual mode if you wanted.

    Emacs doesn't feel like either a tool or a place to me. If you use emacsdaemon and emacsclient, it becomes not a fixed place you work in, or a completely static tool, but something like a part of the ether you can draw from when needed

    info works without emacs, but some people prefer emacs' info viewer to the console one. The console viewer does have some idiosyncratic keybindings - for example, "n" means "next node at same level", and "}&quo

    If foo has a Texinfo manual (GNU tools like bash usually do) then you can try `info foo` and search the index with i or I for -p. Texinfo manuals also have hyperlinks you can press enter on. info is a greatly underused system and I'd r
